Micro-Based Estimates of Demand Functions for Local School Expenditures
提出一种利用调查数据估计地方公共品需求的新方法，将居民对公共品数量的偏好与其收入、税率及实际支出结合，估计结果与基于总支出的研究类似。
We devise and apply a new method for estimating demand for local public goods from survey data. Individuals' responses to questions about whether they wanted more, less, or the same amount of various local public goods are combined with observations of their incomes, tax rates, and the amounts of actual spending in their home communities. Parameter estimates turn out to be quite similar to those found with studies like Bergstrom and Goodman's study based on total expenditures across communities.
